Heute: Mit der Todten in einem Restaurant (Fremde) an einem Tisch, auch O. und noch eine Dame. Es war ganz natürlich, dass die Todte nur scheintodt gewesen war, ich fragte mich, ob sie das und unser früheres Verh. einem Hauptmann, mit dem sie jetzt verlobt war, wieder erzählt hatte.― Ich lobte sie und eine andere Dame die sparsam waren, ich und O. wären es nicht. Ein Motocycle in meinem Besitz, mit dem ich mich nicht zu fahren traue, die Brühl, der Frühling, eine Landpartie ― ich hole O.? ab und andre, Salten?, Türkenschanzpark, schlage aber weitern Spaziergang vor. Der Frühling war, wie schon in einem frühern Traum über die Todte, sehr sattgrün.―
